Looks like I'm flying to Vietnam with the new season of Amazing race!8 minutes ago via iPhone · ·

Wait. What? Really? When? I will check it out soon! I'm living in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam!

The VietNam spoiler is an error I believe by the poster... one of the flights is a codeshare VietNam airlines flight, I think that is all. They were not flying to VietNam at all, they were going to Taipei.

Please reread the comment...there is NO evidence for VIETNAM AT ALL!!!

i clicked into the poster's fb profile and she had a status that said "vietnam in a month!!"

I went back and checked, and I was thinking of TAR 15. When the teams went to Japan, there was speculation that they would then go to Taiwan, and then Vietnam, and there was some research that showed that there were flights from Taiwan to Vietnam. It didn't materialize, but my point today was that the one tweeter could legitimately be headed to Vietnam, and be on a flight with this season's new Racers.

That said, Phil has been spotted during the Race a few times, including at pitstops, during these last couple of seasons (Sydney, for one), but one spotting of Phil outside a pit stop that I can think of offhand was in the Penang airport in TAR 16. As I recall, that tipped off the Penang and Singapore legs during filming, as the Race had dropped out of sight. (Seychelles, anyone?)

Back in TAR 15, we had a vacationing woman from Australia that spotted the teams in Vietnam and then a day or two later ran across Phil in a restaurant/bar in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. I believe that tipped off both legs for us. Quite a coincidence, but it happened.

That was a crazy headache. I remembered some of us were skeptical of it.. too much of a coincidence. But lucky Australian woman, I say!

I have just looked up the flight departures in Taipei Taoyuan Int'l airportThere is the possibility of the teams go to Manila at 9:35 which is already left in the morning of 20th juneFor the 19th, after 10p.m. ,i have searched that all flights that go to LAX ,and the european countries

I have a very tenuous clue that the next location (or the one after that) may be Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea.There are no direct flights that I can see from Taiwan to PNG, but there are plenty of connections using combinations of Hong Kong, Singapore, Manila, Sidney, Brisbane and Cairns.
